On the Second Day of Advent...JEBEL ALI HOTEL, DUBAI

Many of you know that I worked at the Jebel Ali Hotel, just outside of Dubai City in the UAE from 1987 to 1989. And last year, I mentioned in my December blogging the brilliant Christmas decorations in the hotel lobby. Here is a December 1987 picture of the
life-size replica of Santa's sleigh which was suspended precariously above the
vast expanse of marble floor.The lobby
was, on an ordinary day, pretty spectacular, as you can see from its golden
elevator doors and sparkling tendril lighting.At Christmas-time, the whole place was splendiferous!

Dear Blog Friend

My mum (in England) and I (wherever I happened to be living) used to write each other every week...snail-mail letters, of course. When we both got computers and email became popular, we wrote every day...about everything, from the weather to what our neighbors were doing, from the political situation to popular shows on the telly. When she died, not only did I miss my lovely mum, I missed our regular written conversations; and I lost my daily writing fix. Now I admit the messages were sometimes ridiculously banal but they were often hilarious and always fun to receive. So to start with at least, I'm going to imagine my blog is a note to my mum in the hope that you'll like reading it as much I liked reading her notes to me.
